Software Lifecycle Policy and Continia Payment Management On-Premises
Continia provides ongoing servicing and support of all Payment Management on-premises releases for at least two years after each release date. This includes security updates, bug fixes, new features, partner support, and access to online resources including Continia Docs. However, note that all online resources are based on the latest version of Payment Management, meaning that older functionality that has been changed, replaced, or deleted in the meantime is unlikely to be covered. For more information on the various types of support provided by Continia, see Resources for Help and Support.
All Continia code, including bug fixes, is released for RTM versions of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, not for cumulative Microsoft updates. If you're interested in implementing a specific bug fix, you must install the service pack that it's part of, as individual patches and bug fixes can't be provided separately. Service packs are released frequently to keep your software up-to-date and fully functional, and we strongly recommend that you always stay current by installing the latest service packs. For more information about how to implement a service pack, for the online version, see Upgrading to the latest version (online) and for the on-premises version, see Upgrading to the latest version (on-premises).
Releases
Continia releases new major versions of Payment Management and other solutions twice a year: on April 1 and October 1. Between one and two weeks before the official release of every new major version, a preview version is made available in the Business Central online sandbox environments.
Below is an overview of support start and end dates for each software release:
Note
With its 2024 spring release, Payment Management will make a version leap from 7.00 to 24.00, meaning that versions 7.00–23.00 don't exist and never will. This was done in order to align the versioning of Payment Management with that of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
